Old Houses, Back Roads & Finding Treasures

This weekend took us toward a different direction as originally planned. I love not having an agenda when we are headed places, no pressure to go any place in particular, but to just go toward the back roads always seems to work for us.

We headed out very early as we normally do and found lots of great things. The first place I found taxidermy birds. They are really large and just awesome. These were great finds. Just look at what we all we found:

It must have been the weekend for finding chairs, but then again I'm always drawn to chairs. The Victorian chairs have the original burlap and are in great shape. The next set of chairs were the pair of chairs that came out of an old church. These along with the laundry cart were found last weekend, but the remainder of things along with several small were found this weekend.

Of course traveling down back roads always leads us to old houses and here was a really cute old house starting to be covered by vines. I'd love to see what was inside as I'm told it was once an antique shop:

Love it all! Chairs... my weakness for some reason. Me lugging some home is a surefire way to make my man, mad! "WHY?" :) They look great, as is and sometimes fixed up. Hey, they always sell so I know there are others out there that think the way I do! :)
